# Heat

The live race of new tokens on Robinhood Chain, and how to read it.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Live.** The race, New pools, the Activity feed and the weekly figures are available now.
{% endhint %}

The Heat is the first screen of TRNCH: a live race of newly launched tokens on Robinhood Chain. It answers one question. How hard is this token running right now, and can you believe the numbers behind it? Heat is our own score, not a metric any exchange publishes.

## How we rank the trenches

**Heat = momentum x trust.**

Momentum ranks every token against the whole field, never on raw numbers, so one whale cannot buy its way to the top. What counts most is new traders showing up, then how the price is moving right now. A token that already ran (up hard over the day, flat since) is pushed back down, and so is a pool that is no longer new.

Trust only ever takes points away. It can hold a token back, never lift it. It looks at how much of the supply the biggest wallets hold, whether the deployer is still sitting on a pile of it, and whether the contract is verified. A reading we don't have never costs a token anything: we penalise what we can see, we don't guess.

The exact signals, weights and thresholds are on the [Heat methodology](/heat/methodology.md) page.

## What never shows up

* Tokens our routers cannot find a route for.
* Tokens where the deployer, or a handful of wallets between them, hold most of the supply.
* Pools too thin to trade, pools born minutes ago, and pools almost nobody has traded.
* Tokens that are not new: an older token's fresh pool, tokenized stocks, currencies. The race lists new tokens, not new pools. Fresh pools of older tokens are under **New pools**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Heat is not a safety rating, and never will be.** A token can run hot, pass every filter above and still go to zero in an hour. None of this is advice. You are in the trenches, act like it. Read the [Risk Disclosure](/legal/risk.md).
{% endhint %}

## Reading the race

| Token | Age | 1m    | 5m    | 1h     | Depth  | Vol 1h | Last trade       | Heat |
| ----- | --- | ----- | ----- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ---------------- | ---- |
| TRNCH | 7h  | +0.6% | +2.4% | +12.8% | $48.2K | $12.9K | Buy $395, 3s ago | 87   |

This is a sample row with fixed figures, for illustration only. TRNCH has no token yet, and any token using the TRNCH name is not ours.

The columns are read from the pools, live: price moves over 1 minute, 5 minutes and 1 hour, the depth of the pool (the liquidity within 2% of the price), the volume over the last hour, buys and sells, and the last trade. Heat is our score. It ranks the race, and the colored stripe on the left of each row shows its temperature. Click a column header to sort by it.

A change that rounds to zero shows as "0.0%" in grey. A dash means the window is longer than the pool's life: a pool that is 20 minutes old has no 1-hour change yet.

Click a row to open the token's chart and the swap panel. On hover, **Ape in** puts the token in the swap panel with your quick amount. Nothing is signed until you confirm in your wallet.

## Filters

| Filter          | What it shows                                                                      |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **All**         | New tokens only. Never an older token's new pool, a tokenized stock or a currency. |
| **New pools**   | Freshly created pools, including new pools of older tokens.                        |
| **Favorites**   | The tokens you starred. Favorites are kept on your device.                         |
| **Has socials** | Tokens that list a website or social accounts.                                     |

Tokens that rugged today (their price collapsed) are grouped in a separate list you can open from the header.

## Race and Live

On a phone, the Heat has two tabs. **Race** is the ranked list, one row per token, with the change window of your choice (1m, 5m or 1h). Tap a row and the token's chart, stats and swap panel open in one sheet. **Live** is the Activity feed: the trades happening on the chain right now.

On a computer, the Activity feed runs next to the race.

## This week

When enough tokens qualify, a thin line under the top bar sums up the week: how many new tokens that entered the race passed $100K of volume in their first 24 hours, how quickly the Heat spotted them (the median delay), and their total volume. These are market figures across all venues, not volume made on TRNCH. The line changes once a night.

## Fake tokens are blocked

No token imitating TRNCH appears anywhere on the site: not on the Heat, in the Activity feed, in search or in the swap panel. The same goes for copies of ETH, WETH and USDG that are not the real contracts. [TRNCH has no token yet](/security.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.trnch.fun/heat.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
